I'll sign up as a tank, but I might not be able to play much in October.
Sign me up for Wistan.:)
On the topic: not so long ago, in some tournament game on a small map, my Wistan (level 7, 8, no book, expert in shooting and armor) at the beginning of the second week, without any ambushes, with his native creatures (bulls, ducks in the citadel) and 1 angel, without any artifacts, defeated Consul on the swamp. Losses: bulls, gnolls, 2 ducks, and 2 flies. Bron with his army wouldn't have even dared to go there.
I wasn't particularly worried about choosing a starting hero, but after that, I had no doubts at all, because the Lizardmen are powerful!
It happened completely by chance; I just generated Heroes of Might and Magic 6 in light mode for Bron to refresh the nuances, bought an army for 124, and went into Consul without checking, just to see what would happen.
